Hard Way Home
by Brandi Carlile

Capo: 5

G    Em  C  D
Oooh
G
I sometimes lose my faith in luck
                                           Em
I don't know what I want to be when I grow up
       C
I just count the rain
D                                      G
Wearing the floor through the boards again
G
I wish I could find a soul to steal
                                        Em
I could be the engine, you could be the wheel
           C                    D                                 G
And we could drive it home, and never have to worry about being alone

CHORUS:
C
Oooh, I follow my tracks
D                                      G
See all the times I should have turned back
C              G
Oooh, I wept alone
D                                G
I know what it means to be on my own
Em                         C
Oooh, the things I've have known
D                                  G
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
Em                   C    G
Oooh, the seeds I've sown
D                   G
Taking the hard way home
D                   G
Taking the hard way home

I never did learn how to follow the rules
I never was good at sleeping while the moon was full
I just lie and burn
Wreck my mind while the planet turns
I sometimes wish I could start again
I'd try and do the right thing every now and then
I'd step in line
That's what I'd do if I could turn back time

CHORUS
Oooh, follow my tracks
See all the times I should have turned back
Oooh, I wept alone
I know what it means to be on my own
Oooh, the things I've known
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
Oooh, the seeds I've sown
Taking the hard way home
Taking the hard way home

G  Em  C  D
ooooooooooooh

I tell you how I want to live
Forget about the take
Forget about the give
I want to leave this town
Fake my death and never be found

CHORUS:
Oooh, follow my tracks
See all the times I should have turned back
Oooh, I wept alone
I know what it means to be on my own
Oooh, the things I've known
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
Oooh, the seeds I've sown
Taking the hard way home
Taking the hard way home

I sometimes lose my faith in luck
I don't know what I want to be when I grow up
I just count the rain
Wearing the floor through the boards again
I wish I could find a soul to steal
I could be the engine, you could be the wheel
And we could drive it home, I never have to worry about being alone

CHORUS:
Oooh, the things I have known
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
Oooh, the seeds I've sown
Taking the hard way home
Taking the hard way home
Taking the hard way home
